Lions head coach Jim Caldwell announced on Tuesday that left tackle Taylor Decker had undergone shoulder surgery and is out indefinitely.

Although no initial timetable for Decker’s return was given, Caldwell seemed to imply he would miss at least a portion of the regular season.

“Any time that you’ve had surgery, you just don’t know details,” Caldwell said via ESPN. “So like I said, we’ll update you in the fall.

“[It’s] just kind of the nature of our game. You’ve got to adjust. That’s one of the things that I think our personnel office does a great job of, I think our players do a tremendous job of. We’ll adjust and keep moving.”

Assuming Decker starts the season on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list, he’ll be forced to sit out at least the first six weeks of the season.

A first-round pick in the 2016 NFL Draft, Decker helped solidify the Lions’ offensive line last season. In a Week 15 loss to the Giants, Decker and the Lions limited New York to only a single sack — Johnathan Hankins and Olivier Vernon split it.
